Traffic crashes involving pedestrians have been on the rise in many countries. These types of crashes happen due to drivers or pedestrians not paying attention to their surroundings or traveling where they should not be. To understand the characteristics of these crashes in the state of Utah, crash data were collected for the period from 2010 to 2020. The data showed that male drivers and male pedestrians were more involved in pedestrian-related crashes compared to other groups. Young pedestrians and young drivers were also more involved in these types of crashes. Most crashes occurred at intersections, on urban roads with 25 mph or less, and during daylight. When pedestrians were at fault, the main cause of pedestrian crashes was improper crossing. When drivers were at fault, the main cause was failure to yield the right-of-way.
